jess1It’s been a huge year for Jessica Chastain, who starred opposite Brad Pitt this year in the epic drama The Tree of Life. With her latest film The Help, Chastain gained 15 pounds to play curvy blonde Celia Foote.

During a recent interview, the actress admitted that her grandmother, who’s a huge fan of the Kathryn Stockett novel, was surprised the actress landed the part of Celia.  Grandma, however, gave Chastain high marks for her performance.
